Amazing! Have a look at this
News Review: Taliban: NO BEARD, NO JOB! (BBC Learning English)
The Taliban has told men who work for the government that if they shave their beards and don't wear traditional local clothing - long loose top and trousers, and hat or turban - they will not be allowed in their workplace and might even be fired.
The group regained control of Afghanistan last August, 20 years after being ousted, as the remaining Western troops and diplomats left.
Do you think that this kind of requirements are necessary to be allowed to work? Is it the same in all jobs? For example, there are certain jobs tattoed people cannot apply for. Is it fair?
Here are some articles for you to read related to the issue:
